What I like about you

Bien, esta primera clase es para saludarnos, para ver que todos estamos bien, en casita,
resguardados y para celebrar que estamos volviendo al aula, esta vez a una virtual, algo que no
habíamos visto. Y estoy muy feliz de poder ser parte de un cambio como este, es un país donde
nunca pensamos tener educación desde nuestras casas. Es un paso gigante

Se que de pronto va a ser difícil porque no estamos acostumbrados a manejar todas las
herramientas, pero recuerden que nosotros siempre vamos a estar aquí para lo que necesiten y
vamos a hacer este proceso lo más sencillo posible.

Antes de comenzar con las dinámicas de hoy, me gustaría hablarles un poquito de algo que a lo
mejor no hemos tocado, que son las ventajas de estudiar desde casa, porque siempre hay que
mirarle el lado bueno de las cosas

6. “Would You Rather” Questions


Lead, guide, and stimulate healthy debate among students with a set of
questions that are sure to get the classroom [Link] a few
examples of “would you rather” questions, such as:

 Would you rather play outdoors or indoors?


 Would you rather see a firework display or a circus performance?
 Would you rather go skiing or go to a water park?
 Would you rather everything in your house be one color or every
single wall and door be a different color?
 Would you rather visit the international space station for a week or
stay in an underwater hotel for a week?

To keep the class on the same page, consider preparing a few


questions on a printable such as the one below.
10. Two truths and a lie
Encourage students to write down three statements about themselves, with one of the
statements being false.
After giving students five minutes or so to write their sentences down, have them read
them out loud one by one — and enjoy the entertainment as fellow students try to guess
which of the statements is a lie.
This activity also serves as a simple, early way to get a gauge of the skill levels of
your new students: As your new students write out their sentences, you can walk around
and see which students need help might need help with written communication.
As they read out their sentences, you can also gauge verbal communication skills.

12. Tall Thomas


Encourage students to think of an adjective to describe themselves. The adjective must
suit the student and must also start with the first letter of their name — for example, “Tall
Thomas,” “Funny Frankie,” or “Smart Sam.”

to the [Link] the class stand in a circle, and then have one student state his or her
